Effects of Upgraded Fan: Leaves Drooping in Windy Encounter?

CornerBudstarted grow question 2y ago

After installing a more powerful and oscilanting fan, I'm noticing some leaves hanging somewhat downward and in a slight claw-like shape. Could this be related to the wind?

Hello my friend, do NOT point the fan straight on the plants. You want to blow the wind in between plant and lamp. When the leaves are gently fibrating is enough. Now they are looking so sad because they evaporate the moist inside the leaves too fast!

More likely than not unless other factors have changed. Wind burn can happen to plants just like people, you don't need a gale in your tent. =) Try deflecting to force a little by bouncing your airflow off either a wall or the floor of your tent. You're just trying to move air around.

Curling down cotyledon leaves bad sign?Seedlings just popped about 24 hours ago and the cotyledon leaves on one are curling downwards already. Is this normal? I’m trying to make sure not to over water. I also poked some holes in the soil nearby to help oxygen circulation. Hopefully she makes it.

Nutrient burn/deficiencies/feeding Having difficulties with a few of my plants, I didn’t add any nutrients until they were close to 30 days old. And then only cal-mag at what I thought were low doses. One of mine has lost almost all leaves. What would you guys recommend moving forward? I have almost all fox farms

Pls don't die on me overnight. Watered tonight, giving me that same look before another plant died overnight. That slight wilt Fuck. She's looking like the last plant, same strain/likely same mother plant, I had right before it died overnight. Maybe just a bit overwatered. Last time I gave it too much fertilizer. This time I have kept notes. I'm a little scared to sleep. Pls don't die on me

First timer seedling worries.First time grower, is this normal for a seedling? I'm currently on day 3 and noticed these guys have some dark curling leaves. Is this caused by over/underwatering? A light issue? Or am I just over worried? Soils feels moist. They are in Tupur, lightly buffered, in 1gal growbags.

Week 1 new clones' top leaves are not solid green. See some minor claw.Already after about 4 days out of the moisture dome, the new top leaves' color doesn't look solid green throughout, and doesn't seem to spread out nicely. I've added some nutrients from Fox Farms with some molasses and mycorrhiza, but no improvement. Anything to worry? 😕
